Mr. Speaker, the advantage of early mammograms is that it can detect cancer before there is a lump. Has the Department of Health looked at locating and purchasing available portable screening units to be made available at the regional centres, so these tests or screens can be done closer to home? I think everyone realizes the embarrassment of having to do these tests, especially away from home. My question is to the Minister, is the department looking at purchasing the available portable screening units and locating them in the regional centres so mammographs can be done closer to home? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
